You will never see 2.25% again, 1600 a month on 150-200k in equity is an excellent return.  

I worked for a US retail company that had a policy of accepting returns no questions asked and even when I accidentally uncovered someone seriously abusing the policy, my bosses wouldn't pursue the matter. 

With the fund I used, they had a month where they had a few defaults, the return was a bit lower, and they sent out an email apologizing for the lower yield.

As indicated, I never had that issue due to the infinite return.
